Not with that wild period ruining your grammar! Grammar is important to corporate doublespeak

hmm, so it is time to clean all these specks off the monitor again - if it were done before I would have noticed the error.

on edit: although, really, bad grammar is important to corporate doublespeak as it lends an element of plausible deniability when you get called in front of committee.
